    Bathroom wall curtain

    Hi, we recently purchased a 2004 27t. We’re updating the inside. The bathroom has these ugly vinyl wall curtains with snaps. I saw some other models with bamboo curtains. We have the 2 hard walls on each side of the shower and the vinyl is in front of them. I would like to use the bamboo but...

    WTB: 31’ or 33’ Camper

    I was never a huge camper, but my kids are turning out to be and constantly asking us to go. The tents work but I’m ready for a camper to make things a little easier. I’ve been looking around but pretty concerned as I drive an electric vehicle, which led me to the trail manor…which led to...

    Revisiting Torsion Axles

    When the snow is waist deep up here in the Northland, I spend a lot of time reading old threads and figuring out new improvements. The following thread by Marininn got me thinking and actually doing some calculations on my camper. https://www.hilotrailerforum.com/f24/stuck-torsion-axles-6000/...

    Walking on roof

    Hello everyone, I have a 1989 HiLo classic and I want to know if it is safe to walk on the roof. I'm planning on sealing and painting the roof but I am afraid to walk on it for fear of damaging or denting the roof. It is a metal aluminum roof and it has a few join seams that run across it. I'm...

    I was visiting my dad a few weeks ago in southwest Wisconsin and we went for a drive on some back roads near his home. I spotted this gem is a small clearing near the road. Also found this article from 1969 while searching for more information. (Clickable link below.) Pop-up Camper History

    Heater won't turn on

    Hi! I have a 2008 1508T Hi Lo. It was supplied with an Atwood Hydro Flame furnace (I think Model 7900). In the Hi Lo owner's manual, it simply says that the furnace runs on DC current and to simply open up the gas supply, turn the thermostat to "on", turn up the temperature, and the furnace will...

What we think is her master switch was...

    Hydraulics struggled this morning, would not rise all the way and I found fluid shooting out of this fitting. Outside temp went to 23 F last night, outdoor temp was just under 40 when this happened. Was it just too cold? Probably not, my limited knowledge tells me that fluid should not easily...

    Funlite Sway

    Hi-we are towing a new to us 1989 Funlite 17Q with our 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan. My first voyage on the interstate resulted in a terrifying sway experience. In my defense - 50mph, windy day, curve in road, overpass and semi blowing by. An unlikely set of circumstances that quickly took the...
